Sp11-GSBGEN-510-01 : Taking Stock and Moving Forward. 2011 Spring
Abstract/Contents
- Course Description
- This spring quarter elective, designed to help you prepare for a challenging, fulfilling, and meaningful future, sets the stage for you to capitalize on the unique opportunity presented by spring quarter in the second year: one last opportunity to take advantage of the low risk environment of the GSB to assess, reflect, and prepare for what is next. GSBGEN 510 will provide you with the opportunity to step back, synthesize what you have learned about yourself, think about what is truly important to you (both personally and professionally) and begin to make a plan for your continued development and learning. We will address four major life and career themes: - Learning from Choices - Fulfillment and Meaning - Failure and Resilience - Transitions and Renewal Through engagement with these topics, we will help you make sense of the journey you are about to conclude, mine it for learning and create a foundation with which to handle the upcoming transition of graduation and start of a new job (whether immediately or eventually). You will also emerge understanding how to better manage future transitions and the inevitable, unexpected events your career and life hold. Specifically, the objectives of the course are to: - Provide you with the opportunity and tools to take stock of what you have learned about yourself as a person and as a leader over the last 18 months at the GSB - Expose you to research on personal and professional development and help you apply it. - Encourage you to reflect on what matters most to you, personally and professionally, and begin to determine how to achieve it - Prepare you for the challenges and transition immediately ahead and, in so doing, learn how to manage life's big transitions in the future This class is limited to 36 students. Each class will begin with conceptual input and overview of that session's topic in the main classroom. The 36 students will then be divided into three twelve-person break-out groups during the remainder of the class time. These groups are NOT T-groups (for those of you who took Interpersonal Dynamics) but rather discussion groups. However, the discussions will be of a reflective and personal nature. Each discussion group will have 2 Group Leaders who are experienced executive coaches specializing in helping people through life and career transitions. Their role will be to facilitate students' exploration and learning, at a group and individual level as well as to direct various small group activities, as some work will be done in pairs, trios and quartets within your small group as well.
